Ko rātau te kapa tuatahi ki te mau i te poraka pango, i te tīmatanga ko te kapa he Māori katoa, ā, i whai wāhi atu tētahi tokorima tauiwi ki te aroaro-ā-kapa.
Kua turaki rātau i ngā kapa ā-motu tini, pēnei i ngā British and Irish Lion, i a England me Ireland, ā, ko te wā whakamutunga i hinga rātau ki tētahi kapa nō Te Moana-nui a Kiwa ko te tau 1973 (Tonga).
I te tīmatanga i tangatanga noa iho ngā ture mō te whakapapa Māori, heoi ināianei me mātua whai whakapapa Māori ngā kaitākaro katoa e whai tūranga ai rātau.
I te tau 2018 i haere te kapa ki te Tonga o Amerika mō te wā tuatahi, ki reira tuki atu ai ki a Brazil me Chile.
